Not only was Soleus Air's HGW-308 super quiet, but when knocked it over on its side, the unit turned off automatically — a great safety feature. In addition, the HGW-308 excelled at heating up our room, although it didn't distribute the warm air evenly. (Beware of cold corners.) Another issue: The surface gets very hot after the heater has been running on high for a while. Still, it's the only space heater in our test that can be mounted on the wall, which, combined with its low noise levels and power usage, makes it a great runner-up among the space heaters in our test.
